Earth Frequencies Mix - Earth Frequencies - 15-10-2017
Bring on the funk!
RE: Earth Frequencies Mix - deadislandrecords - 23-10-2017
Nice mix! Particularly like the vocal blend... I'd ease up on that reverb use, though.
Listening through, look to automate the level of the bass at certain point. Understandably it's funk, and the artist would likely be happy (or just the bassist), but it can get distracting from other key elements at certain points.
ALSO, while we're talking about bass, THROW A SIDECHAIN COMP to gauge the relationship between kick and bass a bit better. Losing a ton of power from the kick!
Either way, nice mix.

The kick in funk is there to reinforce the bass, it ain't EDM dude

For sure man, to each their own! I've just been tracking and mixing funk artists for years now and almost always go by the OG funk/soul guide from fame studios, muscle shoals - making kick AND bass the prominent drivers in a mix. For me, the most important part of a funk/soul groove comes directly from your rhythm section.
